Open House Set for Watershed Master Plans

The public is invited to an open house Thursday, April 20 on three comprehensive watershed management plans. The event is from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Educare Center in Belmont Elementary School, 3425 North 14th Street. Parking is available in the main lot, north of the Educare Center. City staff and consulting engineers will be available to discuss the goals and objectives of the project. The public will also have the opportunity to view current maps and provide feedback. No formal presentations are planned.

The Salt Creek North Tributaries and Creeks Watershed Master Plans will include Oak Creek, Lynn Creek and North Salt Creek. The plans will identify projects needed for stream stability, calculate minimum stream corridors, and review hydrologic conditions in areas near potential development. The project is a joint effort between the City Public Works and Utilities Department and the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District.

This is the first of three public information meetings designed to inform citizens and gather information about the master plans. For more information, visit lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: northtribs) or contact Tim Zach, Public Works and Utilities, at 402-441-7018 or tzach@lincoln.ne.gov
